Many factors can impact the cost of your Maine to Alaska auto transport rate. The type of transport (open or enclosed) is a big factor in cost. The size of your pickup truck, full-size car, sports coupe or mid-size crossover also has a major impact on cost. The bigger the vehicle the higher the shipping cost. Other factors include accessories and/or vehicle modifications such as Oversized antennas, Front bumper guards, Side steps and 4 wheel drive which can increase the height and width of your vehicle. Inoperable vehicles (dead battery, flat tires, no brakes, blown engine, etc) will cost significantly more. Not telling a shipping company that your vehicle does not run may result in them in not picking up your vehicle. The time of year is another important factor as more people are transporting vehicles during the summer which means fewer transport spots and higher cost. Finally, shipping distance is one the biggest factors in your shipping cost.
